LLB Law Final Year Module Options

Hiya! Just want some advice for my optional modules for my final year of study.

Context:
- Currently picked Company Law, Commercial Law, and Law of Evidence (alongside the mandatory Law of Equity & Trusts ofc) all 30 credit modules
- I've realised that Law of Evidence sounds boring af and I don't really want to do it anymore
- Thinking of replacing it with Financial Crime and Media Law (both are 15 credits) but my friend is recommending I do Criminology modules instead

What is your advice on this? Are there any other modules you'd recommend I pick instead? Also if you require further information please don't hesitate to ask :smile:

Thanks in advance!
Pick whichever course most interests you. Do you plan to practise law? The law of evidence can sometimes be interesting, but it's not as interesting as some other subjects. In the practice of law in England and Wales, the law of evidence is mainly relevant to criminal litigators. In civil litigation, the rules of evidence are relatively relaxed, these days, not least because civil cases are tried by Judges without juries. I would regard financial crime and media law as more interesting and useful than criminology, but so whatever gets you going.
